Back from Retirement

Doing the whole creaming/pieing someone for their bday had grown a bit too immature for me the past couple years. Seeing the fun in assaulting someone and dirtying them up on their birthday had lost its appeal. Maybe it was maturity, or maybe it had gotten too easy... whatever the case, I had stopped masterminding such endeavors.

Now this February, there was such a glut of birthdays that the topic of creaming naturally came up. I got to relive the glory days of hunting ECho @ Palmer Field with supersoakers, cream, maple syrup, and various other kitchen goodies in a pseudo- Serengeti safari hunt. Also great were the back-and-forth ambushes while living at E. Ann between the different apartments.

When the idea was proposed to me to cream Yeoh for his bday, I chose to pass. 1st of all, a couple hours was far too short to plan and execute a proper creaming. Rookies think it's all in the moment the cream hits the face: no, it's the thrill of the chase and the look of fear in their eyes that a great pranker lives for.

Secondly, I had thought he had already been creamed before, so the novelty of getting creamed is no longer an excuse to do it. I've been called a jerk before, but not that big of one.

Anyways, as a bunch of people were celebrating's Yeoh's bday last week, Karen happened to mention she had never been creamed before. That piqued my attention, and I had half an ear open while we were playing around with our indoor basketball hoop (one of those nerf ones). Long story short, she had never been creamed, was extremely proud of that fact, and was bragging about how she was able to avoid them all.

At that moment, I decided to come back from retirement and help her REALLY celebrate her bday. All day, Jorgy, Holi and I tried coming up with a good plan, but nothing seemed like it would work. School was comin to a close and still nothing was flowin. It was lookin like things wouldn't work out.

That was until I had a vision on the drive home. I saw bums, cotton puffs, and tea. Earl Grey Tea.

THE PLAN
- Jorgy would be posted in the girl's apartment to serve as stalling/ decoy.
- camera set up facing doorway in bushes to record the scene.
- Holi would text us when Karen heads back from her meeting.
- Me (dressed as a bum) would be waiting by the dumpster across the street and slowly approach.
- After I cream, cotton puffs and sprinkles would be doused over her and then we would offer to help her clean (with a towel).
- We would then help her back to the apartment, asking if I could use their bathroom to wash up.
- Using that time in the bathroom, I would fill their showerhead with Earl Grey Tea (originally wanted chicken bouillon cubes) and as she showered, she would be covered in tea.

ACTUAL EVENTS

*my favorite part is listening to Tou Fue's breathless play-by-play commentary. Priceless*

The girl she was meeting with actually forgot to text us when she left so we totally missed her at the outside of the apartment. The video is what we had to do to salvage the creaming.





UPDATE ON TEABAGGING

- that night we never received any texts or calls regarding the shower so we were worried it didn't work. After testing the teabag in our apt, we realized we could only fit one teabag (rolled up tightly) into the showerhead, which ended up causing the shower to spray every way but where it was supposed to go.

A couple days later, KOk told us she thought the shower was broken so she had been using Jenny and Michelle's. FAIL

RESULTS and Lessons
1. Don't rely on girls. They will always mess things up.
2. Try untested ideas ahead of time. (teabag). Great ideas without proper execution will always backfire.
3. I have the hunger again.
